Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-68051 is an Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability (CWE-639) in the Shiprocket WordPress plugin. The flaw allows exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels and affects all versions from n/a through 2.0.8.

Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction, as indicated by its CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Successful exploitation enables high-impact confidentiality breaches, such as unauthorized access to sensitive data, without impacting integrity or availability.

The Patchstack advisory describes this as an insecure direct object references (IDOR) vulnerability in the Shiprocket WordPress plugin up to version 2.0.8. Security practitioners should review the advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/shiprocket/vulnerability/wordpress-shiprocket-plugin-2-0-8-insecure-direct-object-references-idor-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for detailed mitigation steps.
